June 18th is the 1-year anniversary of the "discard'" when my ex-husband with narcissistic personality disorder kicked me to the curb. I have suffered the worst year of my life and am actually a bit surprised that I survived at all. He recently denied that he has NPD even though he admitted it the day he discarded me suddenly and ruthlessly. My long term therapist who also saw him confirmed the diagnosis years ago, but I did not listen. Now, I pay for that every day. A recovery from narcissistic abuse looks nothing like a regular divorce or disengagement. The trauma is consuming and life-threatening. The advice of the day: "When you know, you go."
